- Crazy creditsThe three blow-up dolls are listed among the cast in the closing credits as Frankie, Sally and Angie.
- Alternate versionsSome non-UK versions remove scenes showing the demolition of the house, the hiding in the safe and the consequent exploding cars.

Featured review
I first saw this at the cinema, believe it or not, purely on the strength of the fact that it uses 'Me And You Versus the World' by Space as the title music. I'm so glad that I did.
The film is a lightweight romp with implausible but thoroughly likeable characters. It isn't a thought provoking piece of angst, but then it never ever professes to be.
I now own this on dvd, and after several watches it still remains fresh and engaging and never fails to put a smile on my face.
There's no individual outstanding component in this film, but it's one that I just *keep* coming back to. Superb fun.
